It isn't a lie:
"Appearing on Fox News after the debate, Bachmann recounted a conversation with a woman in the audience. “There’s a woman who came up crying to me tonight after the debate. She said her daughter was given that vaccine,” Bachmann said. “She told me her daughter suffered mental retardation as a result. There are very dangerous consequences.”"
She said a woman told her that their daughter suffered mental retardation as a result. Are saying there was no woman who told her that?
That is essentially the same thing as Bush saying the British told him Saddam was seeking yellow cake from Niger and then everyone calling Bush a liar... Never mind that they did tell him that and said as much...
Sorry, stick a “you” between “Are” and “saying ...”
Yes it’s a LIE.
But what is even more troubling is that Bachmann would go to the national media with the lie and try to present it as fact. she didn’t get the woman’s name. No one can seem to id her. No witness to the remark has come forward.
Is that the kind of Prez you want, someone that doesn’t need facts or truth. Just whatever “someone” tells her on the rope line. Heaven help us if she gets in office.
